Objective：To study the value and feasibility of fast track surgery (FTS) in laparoscopic common bile duct exploration.
Methods：Sixty cases undergoing simple laparoscopic common bile duct exploration were selected for the perioperative therapy of fast track surgery(n=28)or conventional surgery(n=32). The time for bowel flatus and food intake and ambulation,hospital stay and cost, and incidence of complications  after operation were compared.
Results：After operation,the time of bowel flatus, food intake, ambulation and hospital stay in fast track surgery group were significantly shorter than those in conventional surgery group(P<0.05).Hospital cost was also less(P<0.05) in FTS group; while the postoperative complications of the two groups showed no significant difference(P>0.05).
Conclusions：Fast track surgery in laparoscopic common bile duct exploration patients is safe,economical,effective,and has very high clinical value.
